The band. which has become a respected musical resource for the people of Webster. marked its 100th anniversary last year. and will officially commemorate the event on April 29. 1990. The Pulaski Brass Band was established in 1889 by 19 men from Saint Josephs Parish. led by Valerian Kreft. Joseph Woznicki. John Ryzewski. Louis Kreft. and Daniel Zatorski. The original members. who were primarily Polish immigrants. named their band after the great Polish freedomfighter. and hero of the American Revolution. Count Casimir Pulaski. The selection of the name Pulaski served as an inspiration to the newcomers to the Webster area as they pursued the dreams of freedom and success that had brought them to the United States.
